Humor is subjective. No matter how funny you think something is, if you say it in a room full of people, not everyone will laugh. (Unless you’re me, of course.) There’s nothing wrong with them or you, they just might not like what you have to say.
If you don’t like the jokes below, either you think they’re too nerdy… or you just didn’t get them. (That’s okay, though.) These intelligent jokes are so clever, most people won’t get them on their first (second or third) read-through.
I hope you get them, though.
1.) It’s hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs… because they always take things literally. reddit

2.) Who is this Rorschach guy? … and why does he paint so many pictures of my parents fighting? reddit

3.) A Roman walks into a bar and asks for a Martinus…. “You mean a martini?” the bartender asks. The Roman replies, “If I wanted a double, I would have asked for it!” reddit

7.) Did you hear about the man who got cooled to absolute zero?… He’s 0K now. Flickr

8.) An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first orders a beer, the second orders half a beer, the third orders a quarter of a beer, and so on. … After the seventh order, the bartender pours two beers and says, “You fellas ought to know your limits.” Flickr

9.) Pavlov is sitting at a bar, when all of the sudden the phone rings… Pavlov gasps, “Oh crap, I forgot to feed the dogs.” wikimedia

10.) Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath…. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. reddit

11.) Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “Do all of you want a drink?”… The first logician says, “I don’t know.” The second logician says, “I don’t know.” The third logician says, “Yes!” reddit

12.) How can you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber? … Ask them to pronounce “unionized.” Flickr

13.) What’s the difference between an etymologist and an entomologist?… An etymologist knows the difference. Flickr

14.) The other day my friend was telling me that I didn’t understand what irony meant. … Which is ironic, because we were standing at a bus stop. Flickr

15.) There are two types of people in this world:… Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. wikimedia

16.) An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. … But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.” A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.” reddit

17.) A photon checks into a hotel and the bellhop asks him if he has any luggage…. The photon replies, “No, I’m traveling light.” Flickr

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas
